hello,
is there a way to get an overview of ntfs permissions,
of a specified part of a directory tree ?
(I've recently answered amost this question over on
StockOverflow as it happens: it wasn't you, was it? :) )
One answer is to use cacls / xcacls, the command-line
tool which ships with Windows.
If you want a Python-y way of doing it (which is,
I assume, why you asked here) then I can do no better
than recommend my fledgling winsys module:
MSI here:
http://timgolden.me.uk/python/downloads/WinSys-0.4.win32-py2.6.msi
or Subversion here:
svn co http://winsys.googlecode.com/svn/trunk winsys
The code would then be something like (depending on what you
actually wanted to show...):
<code>
from winsys import fs
ROOT = "c:/temp"
#
# For purposes of illustration, just show directories
#
for directory, dirs, files in fs.walk (ROOT):
dirpath = directory.filepath.relative_to (ROOT)
indent = " " * dirpath.count (fs.sep)
print indent, dirpath
security = directory.security ()
for dace in directory.security ().dacl:
print indent, dace
print
</code>
Obviously, it depends on exactly what you're after. If you'd
rather do it with "native" Python+pywin32, I'm happy to produce
an example, but it's a bit tedious (which is why I wrote the
winsys package to save myself the trouble of remembering...)
